THE POWER OF
OUR CONNECTIONS

Celebrating Our Sesquicentennial

Since 1866, Lafayette has “set the goal of educating not just the engineer, but the whole person, who is able to meet the challenges of a world in which, scientific, technological, and human needs have steadily become more complex.” Learn more about our long history.

Sustainability

Our campus is a living laboratory for environmental sustainability with LEED-certified buildings, water bottle-filling stations, wind turbines, and a community garden that facilitates a robust food loop. Exploring sustainable living on campus prepares students for a life of environmental citizenship.

Our Growing Community

President Alison Byerly is leading a new strategic direction designed to help Lafayette become more affordable and distinctive. Efforts are underway, some still preliminary, to transform Lafayette and expand the campus into the College Hill neighborhood, into downtown Easton, and along the Bushkill Creek.
